Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 6 The pie in the sky

"As a person born hundreds of years later, and with the surname Liu, there is absolutely no need to lie to myself!" Emperor Chongzhen said to himself, "Besides, such a rare thing can be encountered by me, and it is in the Taimiao Temple. Among them, it must be the result of the blessings of the ancestors, they came to help me, and it is absolutely impossible to come to harm me!"

"Yes, that's it!" Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked to the door as if he had cheered himself up.

Because he had ordered everyone to stay away, and they had to go to the door to summon someone: "It is said that Wang Chengen will come to see me immediately!"

After giving the order, he returned to the hall, took out his mobile phone, looked at the two pictures Liu Weichao sent him, and did not move for a long time.

At the same time, under broad daylight, all the cabinet members at Wenyuan Pavilion were puzzled.

"Why is Your Majesty so abnormal today? At this point, you haven't summoned him yet?" Zhang Sizhi, who joined the cabinet in Chongzhen 12 years ago, asked suspiciously.

He Fengsheng, who has been in and out of the cabinet many times, heard this, and said a little worriedly: "Could it be the news of the defeat in Shanhaiguan, so that the dragon's body is not in good health?"

Hearing what they said, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, immediately said indifferently: "Your Majesty works day and night, and it is normal to take a day off. Let's do our own thing well!"

After he said that, no one in the cabinet talked about it.

Just don't know why, they all found an excuse to leave.

In fact, they all know each other well, what are the people who leave going to do!

Therefore, at the corner of Wenyuan Pavilion, or on the side of the pillars, etc., I saw these cabinet members themselves, or their subordinates whispering to the servants, maids, etc., asking about the situation in the palace.

"Your Majesty went to the Taimiao last night, and the Emperor Taizu appeared? How is this possible?"

"Emperor Taizu gave the treasure? Did His Majesty say it himself? It's impossible!"

"Zibuyu speaks strangely, this is simply nonsense!"

"Is that treasure something that emits light? Can it still talk? Do you think the old man will believe you if you lie to me like this?"

"..."

All of a sudden, the news that these members of the cabinet heard was all news that made them unbelievable.

Since it is unbelievable, in other words, no one believes it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they have already figured out what kind of temper this emperor has.

His ears are soft, as long as he blows more, or uses the trick of three people becoming a tiger, he can be fooled so that he can't find the north.

On the contrary, those colleagues need to be on guard to prevent them from fooling the emperor.

The Chongzhen Dynasty has always been like this!
The same is true, the replacement of the chief assistant of the Chongzhen Dynasty is as casual as going to the toilet, because under the party struggle, when one faction comes to power, the other factions can unite to fool the emperor.

But in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the atmosphere here is much more dignified than that of the cabinet.

After all, the supervisor of ceremonies knows much more clearly than the cabinet.

More importantly, the eunuch Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, was ordered by the emperor to take off his pants last night.At that time, at least Wang Dehua squinted and saw that there was indeed a glowing thing in Emperor Chongzhen's hand!

And as a person close to the emperor, he can absolutely guarantee that the emperor has never seen such a thing before.

At this moment, Wang Dehua looked at the group of eunuchs holding pens below, and shouted in a cold voice: "Do any of you know the origin of the thing in the hands of the Long Live Lord?"

Obviously, he couldn't get the answer.

I saw him with a cold face, and after looking around, he suddenly shouted in a sinister way: "Whoever wants to go around our house to please the Lord Long Live, thinking of climbing on top of our house, haha, our house will make him regret it." born!"

When he had just finished speaking, a servant suddenly rushed over and immediately reported to him: "Old Ancestor, Lord Long Live is tossing a well at the side hall!"

Wang Dehua wanted to know Emperor Chongzhen's every move, so he sent someone to watch Emperor Chongzhen all the time. Hearing this, he couldn't help being very strange. He quickly asked for details, and then he was a little dumbfounded.

Because according to what he knew, Emperor Chongzhen would never do such a thing!

What exactly happened here?
Ever since the news of the defeat came, Wang Dehua was not surprised even if he was alone in the Taimiao, but everything that followed seemed to be out of his expectation. What's going on?

A little puzzled, Wang Dehua threatened the eunuchs who were under his command again.Because he knew that those who could become Bingbi eunuchs were generally those trusted by Emperor Chongzhen.Those who threaten him will definitely only come from these people.

Therefore, even if these Bingbi eunuchs are very obedient to him, he still has to beat him, lest these people be jealous of his position and play tricks behind his back.

He knew very well in his heart that as long as he was an eunuch, there was no one who would miss the position of eunuch.The filial piety of the officials of the outer court alone can make people envious!

While reprimanding him, suddenly, a servant rushed over and saluted Wang Dehua, "Old Ancestor, Lord Long Live summoned Prince Wang Chengen!"

When Wang Chengen was being trained, he was taken aback when he heard this.

Wang Dehua immediately stared at him, and said in a cold voice: "Don't take what our family said just now as wind, just serve the Lord Long Live well, dare to say other things, hehe..."

"My son doesn't dare!" Wang Chengen replied quickly when he heard this.

Wang Dehua was an old man in Xinwang's mansion back then, and the only one who could wrestle with Wang Dehua was Cao Huachun, the old man back then.However, Cao Huachun has retired from illness, and now Wang Dehua is No.1 in the palace, who dares to offend?

Wang Dehua listened, snorted, and then told Wang Chengen: "See if there is something strange about the Long Live Lord, or if you find out why the Long Live Lord is abnormal, you should report the truth to our family and don't hide anything, otherwise our family will never I won’t forgive you, understand?”

After hearing this, Wang Chengen quickly agreed and left in a hurry.

To be honest, he was also very curious. Now that he was summoned by the emperor, he wanted to know what was going on with the rumors about the emperor.

Not long after, Wang Chengen appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

To his surprise, after seeing the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen did not let him lie down as usual, but kept staring at him, as if he wanted to see through him, and he was sweating involuntarily.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Chongzhen spoke up and said, "Let's be flat!"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Li stood up.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen stared at him again, and even circled him to size up.

This made Wang Chengen feel uncomfortable all over, thinking that he had made some mistake, he wanted to kneel down and apologize again.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen said: "I really didn't expect that among so many eunuchs, you are the most loyal!"

"???" When Wang Chengen heard this, a series of question marks immediately popped up in his mind?
What's happening here?
Is it the emperor's temptation, or Wang Dehua's method?
In the palace, there are many intrigues and deceptions, and one must be careful in order to survive.

Wang Cheng'en heard this, and quickly replied: "Long live Lord, what you said is to offend slaves, don't talk about others, just the king..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently and stopped him from speaking.

Then, he stared at him and said, "I said you are the most loyal, so why would you talk nonsense?"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't know what he had done to make the emperor have such an impression. This is a great thing!
He didn't dare to speak, but just lowered his hands to listen to the emperor's words.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at him, and suddenly asked: "The situation in the court is so dire, the civil and military officials are incompetent, and the factory guards are in charge of me. Therefore, I want to reset the West Factory, and you will be in charge, supervise the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and supervise the civil and military officials. Would you like to?"

Wang Chengen couldn't believe his ears when he said this. He thought he had heard it wrong, and immediately looked up at Emperor Chongzhen in surprise. For a moment, he forgot to be in awe.

"The only one I can trust in the palace is you!" Emperor Chongzhen stared at him and continued, "Can you handle this matter for me?"

Hearing these words again, Wang Cheng'en immediately understood that he heard correctly, Long Live Lord wanted to reopen the West Factory, and also wanted him to be in charge of the West Factory, surpassing all civil and military officials, Jin Yiwei and the East Factory.

This kind of power can be said to be truly under one person and above ten thousand people.Even the Nine Thousand Years Old at the beginning did not have the power clearly conferred by the emperor.

Therefore, Wang Chengen's immediate reaction was ecstatic.

As an eunuch, who doesn't think about the No.1 position in the palace!

However, after thinking about it, Wang Chengen became afraid.

The West Factory has only appeared twice, and now it has been so many years since the West Factory opened?

Don't tell me Long Live is testing yourself, right?After all, Wei Zhongxian was dismantled by the person in front of him, and the case of Wei Ni was enlarged and dealt with.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Chengen dared not pick up this pie that fell from the sky!

"Long live, reopening the West Factory is a very important matter, involving many things..."

Before Wang Chengen finished his polite words, he was interrupted impatiently by Emperor Chongzhen: "Whether the West Factory can be opened or not, I have the final say! I just ask you, can you take care of the West Factory for me?"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen didn't dare to look at Emperor Chongzhen, but he felt that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were staring at him as if they were real.

Having been in the palace for so many years, he is definitely not a fool to become a person that Emperor Chongzhen can trust.

Wang Chengen knew that in this situation, he had no choice, and he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise even a good thing might turn into a bad thing, so he quickly knelt down to accept the decree: "Your servant must do everything he can to do a good job. What my grandfather told me!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen finally smiled and said, "Okay, I know that you are the most loyal to me."

Then he put away his smile and confessed seriously: "Well, let's do this right away. The Xichang yamen is still in its original place. As for the manpower, it's up to you to choose. You can choose from the palace, Jinyiwei or other guards. In short, start it with great fanfare and let everyone know that I am not satisfied with them."

Wang Chengen was excited to hear this, and already understood in his heart that this should not be a test for him.

Moreover, he could also hear that Emperor Chongzhen had given him a very large authority.

So, despite being excited, he also took a little caution, and asked Emperor Chongzhen for instructions: "Long Live Lord, how far should the slaves do?"

"To what extent?" Emperor Chongzhen repeated a little when he heard this, and then immediately remembered what Liu Weichao said to him, and also remembered what he wrote when he hanged himself, "All officials misunderstood me".

Therefore, he went on to confess to Wang Chengen without hesitation: "The case that the Jinyiwei in the East Factory cannot solve will be solved by the West Factory. Also, in the East Factory, those who the Jinyiwei dare not kill will be killed by the West Factory, and in the East Factory, the Jinyiwei will not dare." In one word, the East Factory and the Jinyiwei can manage the West Factory, and the East Factory and the Jinyiwei can't manage the West Factory. First..."
